That 10m chamber in Cupertino sure sounds familiar. I wonder if it's still around?
Hi Gary! Hope all is well. Manny Barron Northrop Grumman Corp. San Jose, California From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Pettit, Ghery Sent: Thursday, January 17, 2008 3:45 PM To: [email protected]; [email protected] Subject: RE: Sprinkler Systems in Anechoic Chambers Of the three chambers I've been involved with building, two have sprinklers and one doesn't. It all depends on what you can get away with when dealing with the local fire marshal. The first was a 10 meter chamber in Cupertino, CA. Fixed heads in a dry, pre-action system. The second was a 3 meter chamber in Hillsboro, OR. No sprinklers. The third was a 3 meter chamber in DuPont, WA. Pop down dry, pre-action system. The first two chambers were welded rooms, the third a modular room. I figure that if the sprinklers ever go in that chamber it will be a write off. And the old chamber in Cupertino would need new absorber at the bare minimum. Actually, after 18 years it does anyway, but that's another story. Good luck. If your luck runs right (and it does for most folks) the worst the sprinkler will do is add cost to the construction of the chamber. Ghery S. Pettit From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Thursday, January 17, 2008 3:37 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Sprinkler Systems in Anechoic Chambers I have a question regarding sprinkler systems in Anechoic chambers. Are there any list members with an opinion on the matter? I have a chamber I am installing and I am working with the fire safety group to determine if we have to install sprinklers. Have any of you been able to get away without installing sprinklers in your chambers? Any input would be appreciated.
